On 27 May 2026, H.E. Mrs. Piyapin Niyomrerks, Ambassador of Thailand to Kazakhstan, led a delegation of more than 20 representatives from Almaty Region, Almaty City, and the Kazakh private sector on a study visit to the food manufacturing facilities of CPRAM Co., Ltd. in Lat Lum Kaeo District, Pathum Thani Province. During the visit, the delegation received a briefing on the company’s business operations. As one of Thailand’s leading producers of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food products, CPRAM presented its product development process, food safety standards, and advanced production management systems. The delegation was also given a guided tour of the company’s production facilities, which manufacture a wide range of products, including ready-to-eat meals, bakery products, frozen foods, and other food products distributed both domestically and internationally.

 

The visit generated considerable interest among the Kazakh delegation, particularly in Thailand’s food production technologies, quality control standards, innovation in product development, and integrated food supply chain management. The delegation also exchanged views with CPRAM executives on market opportunities in Kazakhstan and the wider Central Asian region, as well as the potential for expanding cooperation in food products, processed foods, and high-value agricultural products, the sectors that offer strong growth potential and align with evolving consumer demand in the region.

 

The visit to CPRAM formed part of the Royal Thai Embassy in Astana’s project entitled “Enhancing Thailand - Kazakhstan Economic Cooperation in High-Potential Sectors through Strategic Economic Networking and Participation in THAIFEX - Anuga Asia 2026,” implemented during 21 - 29 May 2026. The project aims to support Thailand’s Proactive Economic Diplomacy policy and expand economic, trade, and investment cooperation between Thailand, Kazakhstan, and the wider Central Asian region by creating new business opportunities and fostering sustainable and tangible linkages between the private sectors of both sides.
